Handel, Giulio Cesare. Va tacito e nascosto. Drew Minter, countertenor.

George Frideric Handel
Va tacito e nascosto, from Giulio Cesare
Libretto by Nicola Francesco Haym
Origionally sung by Senesino, 1724
Drew Minter, countertenor
As the crafty huntsman,
in pursuit of his prey,
stalks along in silence, unseen, /
so he who is intent upon wrongdoing
takes care to conceal
the treachery in his heart. / (da capo)
(Alternate translation)
The cunning hunter moves silently and stealthily
when he is eager for prey. /
And he who is disposed to evil
Does not wish the deceitfulness
Of his heart to be seen. / (da capo)
- - - -
Va tacito e nascosto
quand'avido è di preda
l'astuto cacciator
E chi è mal far disposto
non brama che si veda
l'inganno del suo corDescription

Totalement parfait! D. Minter est un des meilleurs contreténor de notre époque. Je regrette qu'on parle si peu de lui.

El CD de Minter cantando las arias de Handel para Senesino lo escuché hasta la extenuación. Siempre me gusto su voz juvenil, tan fresca y musical.

[@TASSOS1965]

Sublime version!

[@jamesrodriguez3736]

I THINK MAYBE THIS HIGHER VOICE IS CLOSER TO
WHAT A CASTRATO MIGHT HAVE SOUND THERE ARE
WRITTEN COMMENTS THAT SOMETIMES THEY WOULD
LOOSE IT I LIKE THIS RENDITION

[@CarolYost]

Beautiful singing. Why are we usually not given the option to add this to our playlists, or REALLY share?
